Solskjel or Solskjelsøya is an island in Aure Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.[1] The 5km2 island sits just north of the island of Stabblandet, northeast of the larger island of Tustna and west of the island of Ertvågsøya.
There is no road connection to the island, but there is a cable ferry connection across the 450m (1,480feet) wide Norheimsundet strait to the neighboring island of Stabblandet. The cable ferry began operating on 16 January 2009.[2]
